The
latest honor roll of Region XIV-District M's volleyball standouts recognizes
Laredo Community College Palomino Mariana Souza as the Player of the Week for
matches ending Saturday, Oct. 4.
Souza, a 5-foot-10 outside hitter from Sao Paulo, Brazil, was recognized for posting 40 kills and seven errors on 80 attacks with a kill percentage of 0.413, averaging 3.33/kpg.
She also is credited for adding 26 digs (2.17/pg), four blocks and five service aces in 12 games.
